I'm just listing shows I watched but not necessarily liked so much as there was nothing else better, I was a teenager throughout the 90's and many shows were unbearable

Perfect Strangers (classic)
Mr. Belvedere (classic)
Full House (awful, unbearable garbage)
Family Matters (average)
Step By Step (average)
Hanging With Mr. Cooper (meh!)
Sabrina The Teenage Witch (sissy girly show)
Boy Meets World (average)
Teen Angel (gone too soon)
Baby Talk (stupid beyond belief)
Clueless (ok I guess)

Step by Step
Hangin' with Mr. Cooper
Sabrina the Teenage Witch
Perfect Strangers (I didn't watch this when it originally aired on TGIF)

It's sad that out of all of the TGIF shows, only a few are released in full on DVD:

Full House
Boy Meets World
Dinosaurs
Sabrina the Teenage Witch

More TGIF shows seriously need to be completed on DVD! These were some good, fun shows.

Perfect Strangers is my all time favorite TGIF show.

Followed by Step By Step. Full House was better in my eyes when I was a kid. Now, I find it a bit too sappy. I still like it okay though.

Full House
Family Matters
Perfect Strangers
Boy Meets World
Step by Step
Mr. Cooper
Dinosaurs

TGIF went downhill in 1997, when there were more shows for teens rather than for the family.

I think what caused TGIF to go downhill was that after Sabrina the Teenage Witch premiered the year earlier, ABC in their infinite wisdom, added to other fantasy type shows in the form of You Wish (which was basically a gender reserved version of I Dream of Jeannie) and Teen Angel, which had a premise that was way too macabre for TGIF. It just showed how interchangeable ABC's Friday night line-up had become (typified by the crossover episodes involving Salem the black cat traveling through time). ABC just couldn't find another breakthrough hit to supplement the aging Boy Meets World and Sabrina. What didn't help was around this same period, CBS started their own version of TGIF called the "Block Party", which pretty much diluted the target audience even further.
